The Pumpkin Post or El Recaito newsletter includes delicious and nutritious recipes, regular columns on child feeding challenges, seasonal foods, menu ideas, "Ask Dr. Green Bean," and "Marvelous Morsels," which address topical nutrition issues and questions.

The Banana Beat or Sabrosito insert features a fold-open activity poster for children, a special children's recipe, a fairy tale, and a fun physical activity. The pair comes in a series of six issues with themes about breakfast, fitness, fruits and vegetables, healthy lunches, goal setting and holiday eating.
